!

Are you selling them yet? For that matter, who exactly is 'you' - who's responsible for these shoes? Any plans for a NA distributor?

Get some (by some I mean many) photos of the shoe up!

Nice vid too! Sweet shred, location, and editing.

Are they any different than lavers? If not, whats the point?

"Are those footbag shoes?"
"Well, they're tenis shoes modi-....I mean, yes. Yes, they're footbag shoes."

Neat.

the quantum is planet footbags take on a footbag shoe, because thats what we think they were talking about, and what they were going to name it

Interesting.

So the day has finally rolled around when footbag shoes are available. On one hand it's exciting, on the other... not to sound unenthusiastic, but for some reason I'm not all that hyped up about this shoe. Superficially at least, they just look like Lavers. I was wondering if you could give some more info about it? They look so much like lavers, I'm curious as to what are the advantages of this shoe over lavers.

* are they lighter?
* do they grip better than lavers?
* are the soles more durable than lavers?
* am I correct in assuming they don't have to be modified, and are playable right out the box?

Vasek seems to play real well in them, but then, that doesn't mean very much at all to me. He played in Dunbars on Champion's league and did pretty well.

In any case, I am happy that people don't have to pay Adidas anymore, cause they never really supported footbag anyway. But in recent years, it feels like Lavers have lost their monopoly over the footbag world anyway.

Oh, and I thought the video was well-edited. My only criticism would be that the guy standing in the background in the last shot was kind of jarring.

Obviously ;-] Nothing looks better than a pair of dirty, sweaty, modded Lavers.

Except a pair of dirty, modded CT300's, although those are hard to find on a player anymore.

I don't think they looked so bad. Actually I think they looked cool. Or it's just Vaseks legs...

yeah steve is always difficult to move out of the picture

well i am not the one to inform you all about the shoe, there is others to do it - what i know is that not only vaseks plays in them and likes them as well, but others as well, and that they are playable right out of the box.

don't worry, there'll be more info coming soon, i'm sure.

ps: i think everyone coming to worlds might have a good shot at getting more than a close look

sounds good, yadda yadda yadda.

What about the support? Are they any more forgiving to the legs than Lavers?

Better support is a main reason I switched to the Gs.
(I have money, so now's the time to convince me)

Ok, I know all this space age technology is great and all, but no one's asked the question I want answered!

Do they come in lavender?

Guest_2 · Post by **Guest_2** » 03 Jul 2006 20:04

I guess I should just post in here:

How can we get them if we're not going to worlds?!

Most people go a half size down when they get lavers. How do you size Quantums?

Something about the sole and the form of the insides of G-units has brought back my ability to progress in this game with making my legs and knees feel like they just went through a wood chipper. If your shoe can offer that kind of support, or at least something closer than the lavers, I would pay to be a beta-tester for them. Their similiar appearance to Lavers scare me though. Ten years of kicking in Lavers feel like a bad relationship after G-units.

Good stuff. The sole looks nice. This shoe might be allright

Ales has these shoes too. He has black ones and the look really bad, but it's about how are they good for footbag...

Neat.
